ULTRAS

Ultras (Latin word deriving from ultrā, meaning beyond in English, with the implication that their enthusiasm is 'beyond' the normal) are a form of sports team supporters renowned for their fanatical support and elaborate displays.

They are predominantly European followers of football teams. The behavioural tendency of ultras groups includes the use of flares—primarily in tifo choreography—, vocal support in large groups, defiance of the authorities and the display of banners at football stadiums, which are used to create an atmosphere which intimidates opposing players and supporters, as well as encouraging their own team.

Consistently rivals with opposing supporters, ultras groups are often identified with their respective team. The actions of ultra fan groups can occasionally be overly extreme and are sometimes influenced by cross-town derbies between clubs from the same city, and even from poor performances by the teams.

Flare in Malaysia

Flares are routinely used in countries around Europe and South America, during football games, in order to aid the build-up of the atmosphere within the stadium. Hardcore supporter groups known as ULTRAS, often light flares at the beginning of games, when their team has scored, or at the end of a game, if their team has won.

TIFO

Tifo, originally the Italian word for the phenomenon of supporting a sport team, is mostly used as a name for any spectacular choreography displayed by supporters on the terraces of an arena or stadium in connection with a sport event, mostly an association football match.

Tifos are most commonly seen in important matches, local derbies and rivalries and although the tradition originated at club teams, some national teams also have fans that organize tifos on a regular basis. Tifos are primarily arranged by ULTRAS or a supporter club to show their love to the club, but are sometimes sponsored or arranged by the club itself.
